Partners

Collaborative work with ecological change-makers

A Portfolio of Change-Making

Supporting purposeful transformation

From nature-based solutions and rewilding to health, education and the experience economy, these are current and recent partners engaged in meaningful ecological transformation.

Nature’s Rights

  • Founders of the Integrated Rights Framework, Nature’s Rights is a leading rights of nature charity in the UK. With the support of 200+ civil society organisations, they also authored the UK Nature’s Rights Bill currently going through parliament and have done similar work in the EU.

    I’ve been supporting the charity with fundraising, communications and operations consultancy, including managing donor relations, setting up their advisory board, and building the capacity for leading the rights of nature movement in the UK.

Land-Based Living

  • Many of us yearn to re-entangle ourselves with the more-than-human world, to re-align our bodies to the rhythms of nature, and to rekindle what it means to be “home”. The Land-Based Living Collective is a response to this call, and is a growing movement nurturing low-impact land-based lifestyles.

    Building beautiful straw bale, timber and earthen buildings, I supported the organisation with management consultancy, programme development and coaching. I was also lucky enough to roll up my sleeves and help with construction projects in Devon, Cornwall and the Cotswolds.

Conservation Collective

  • The world over, local communities work tirelessly to protect and restore the places they love from the impacts of the climate and nature crises. The Conservation Collective is a global network of local foundations funding these effective grass-roots initiatives.

    Providing programme management for a large-scale biodiversity mapping and ecosystem restoration project, I coordinated partners in the UK and Spain, including experts in ecology and nature finance, community groups, private sector sponsors and the University of Seville.

Radical Ecology

  • A CIC at the intersection of art, academia and activism, Radical Ecology explores imaginative transformations in response to our planetary crises. Their purpose is to decolonise the environmental justice movement through research, events, exhibitions, campaigns, and innovative collaborations.

    I supported the team with growth and communications consultancy and project management. As well as building their fundraising pipeline, and writing bids, I also supported with programme design, event production, proposition development and stakeholder management.
